Laura Branigan: Gloria!

It's outdoor summer concert season here in Chicago.  On the menu soon is Deep Purple, EW&F, and Peter Gabriel.  Reviews to follow forthwith.  So for now, here we have Laura Branigan's eponymous debut album, from 1982, with her smash hit Gloria on it.  We get to hear some all-time great session muscians playing on it: guys like Lee Sklar,  Steve Lukather, and Michael Landau on guitar.  Bob Glaub on bass, and the prodigious Michael Boddicker on keyboards.  It's a fun album and I like the cover.   I did not know she passed away in 2004.
